Upcoming Colloquium
Student Research Presentations
Students, CSU Long Beach
December 7 and 9, 2020
11:00am via Zoom
Faculty, staff, alumni, and students of the department will automatically receive a weekly Zoom invitation via email. All others may sign up to receive a weekly invitation.
Students enrollwed in PHYS 691, 697, 698, and 496 will present their research progress and achievements. Other students will present research updates and readings from their semester.
The Colloquium is a unique opportunity for students to learn about new developments in physics and what physicists do after they graduate. Hosted by the Department of Physics and Astronomy at California State University Long Beach, the weekly meetings invite guests from universities, research laboratories, and industry to present and discuss current topics in physics. All students are encouraged to attend for a well-rounded experience and training in physics.
